From a former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency,
whose government service spanned six presidencies, this is
the inside story of the role of America and the agency in
the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern
Europe. Gates provides descriptions of the atmosphere,
culture and politics of the CIA and the National Security
Council and draws candid appraisals of presidents and key
officials. Among his many disclosures are: how Carter laid
the foundations for Reagan's covert wars against the
Soviets; CIA predictions of a conservative coup against
Gorbachev and the collapse of the Soviet Union; CIA and KGB
"black operations" against each other; the secret
relationship between Pope John Paul II and the Soviets; and
the three secret CIA-KGB summits.
